Ford Sierra Manual

Driveshaft check (Every 12 000 miles (20 000 km) or 12 months)

1 Position the vehicle over a pit, or raise it at
front and rear on ramps or axle stands (see
УJacking and vehicle supportФ).

2 Examine the driveshaft joint rubber gaiters.

Flex the gaiters by hand and inspect the folds
and clips. Damaged or leaking gaiters must
be renewed without delay to avoid damage
occurring to the joint itself
3 Check the tightness of the final drive
mounting bolts and the driveshaft flange screws.
